Hello all, I just ordered a new 7200rpm 1 TB hard drive for my ps4. Does anyone know if i get a external hard drive enclosure for my existing hard drive, if i can transfer my save data direct from that? Or do I need to back it up another way before I switch out hard drives? To my understanding you can't transfer actual game downloadshard drive to hard drive...

Definitely not as simple as it was on PS3 but here is Sony's help page on the subject!

Yea, I checked that out, didn't really answer my question. I did call Sony and ask, the lady told me i could do it that way, but I wasn't too confident after the call. I bought a 16gb flash to back up my save data just in case what I want to try doesn't work. I will post here whether or not it works, mid next week. Thanks for your input!
Thanks! I'm sure more people have the same issue so that will help a lot!
Ok, the ps4 didn't recognize the usb device when I plugged in the extrrnal hard drive containing the 500gb ps4 hard drive. So, could not restore everything that way. However, I did back my save data up on a 16gb flash, and that worked just fine! I had a feeling the lady I talked to at Sony didn't know what she was talking about. Hour this info helps anyone else upgrading!
Definitely! Thanks for being a PSLS guinea pig!
